General Information
ECPM is a non-profit organization in compliance with the law of 1901, based in Paris and Montreuil (France). It is composed of 9 employees in France and abroad, with interns. The provisional budget for the year 2015 is around 1 560 000 Euros. ECPM sources of funding come from several sources: abolitionist governments, French local authorities, private funds and international organizations. ECPM organizes World and Regional Congresses against death penalty, raises youth awareness about human rights in France and abroad, lobbies national and international organizations and promotes human rights in the MENA region. One of our main partners is the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, composed of more than 150 NGOs, bar associations, local authorities and unions. It aims to lobby, organise international campaigns and support national and regional abolitionist forces for universal abolition. ECPM also works with several partners in France and abroad: parliamentarians, politic or juridical associations...
Mission and Objectives

The purpose of ECPM is to organize and support all actions that effectively fight the death penalty around theworld, as well as the promotion of universal abolition and more broadly, the carrying out of actions aiming atthe development of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
ECPM’s mission is to gather, unite, and empower human rights defenders engaged in the fight against the death penalty to reach universal abolition of the death penalty.

Main Projects / Activities

ECPM has 4 core activities:
Bringing together abolitionist actors from around the world
Every three years, since 2001, ECPM organizes the World Congress against the death penalty (Strasbourg 2001, Montreal 2004, Paris 2007, Geneva 2010, Madrid 2013) involving thousands of political representatives, civil society organizations, lawyers and artists from abolitionist and retentionist countries, in order to develop new strategies to carry out the abolitionist cause.

The next World Congresses will be in Oslo, Norway, in 2016. ECPM is also organizing a Regional Congress in Malaysia in June 2015, focused on drugs and death penalty. This event is co-organised by The Anti-Death Penalty Asia Network (ADPAN), an independent, interregional network involved in the Asia Pacific region. It currently includes members from 28 countries and is composed of NGOs, organisations, civil society groups, attorneys and individuals.
Enhancing the capacity of local actors and working with them
Since 2011, ECPM supports the development of coalitions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, in order to strengthen local actors of the abolition, raise public awareness about this issue and supports the creation of Parliamentary abolitionist networks. ECPM organized for instance a Regional Congress in Morocco in 2012 and several national conferences in the region, created the first parliamentarians’ Network against the death Penalty in Morocco, developed the first abolition website of Morocco (www.tudert.ma) and supported the creation of a graphic novel on death penalty in Arabic.

Implementation of lobbying actions towards the universal abolition of the death penalty
ECPM carries out fact-finding missions with local partners (Morocco, Tunisia, the United States of America, and the Great Lakes region in Africa) and publishes annual reports about the death penalty in Iran.
Teaching and raising awareness of abolition
ECPM carries out actions and develops educational tools for middle and high school students in France and abroad. The association has been working to raise public awareness about issues of the death penalty around the world, and in particular for minorities and vulnerable groups.
In 2014, one thousand students from low socioeconomic areas were taught about the death penalty in accordance with ECPM’s education of human rights project. This project was also implemented in Morocco, with 1,500 students who took the course in human rights (focusing on abolition of the death penalty). In Tunisia ECPM is implementing the first “Caravan” for the teaching abolition in partnership with the Tunisian coalition against the death penalty and the Arab Institute of Human Rights, crossing the country and meeting more than 250 students from middle and high school institutions in order to debate the death penalty.
The same year, ECPM organized a drawing contest for pupils and high scholars of France, Lebanese, Moroccan, Tunisia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, called “Dessine-moi l’abolition”. This international contest gathered 350 drawings denouncing the horror of the death sentence, with an international jury composed of actors involved in human rights or graphic design professionals, and with the partnering of human rights associations of each country represented. The success of this contest shows the importance of human rights education for children.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

ECPM works with numerous partners, especially located in the country where ECPM operates. The Regional Congress is for instance co-organised by ADPAN, an Asian network, and numerous local organizations collaborated for the projects in the MENA region. Belong to such a great network as the Anna Lindh’s one would be a great opportunity for ECPM to expand and strengthen its network and find new relevant and motivated partners for its events.

General Information
E-Romnja is an association established in August 2012 by a group of activists that advocates for a public agenda that must include Roma women’s issues.E-Romnja advocates for the respect, integrity, and dignity of Roma women. Our focus is on working for images of Roma women to reflect the diversity and reality of their lives. Over time, negative images of Roma promoted by media, literature, and even art have had a major impact upon the lives of Roma women,making them invisible and marginalized.They’re voices have yet to be documented – from their experiences as slaves, their inferior position inside their communities and/or families, or the patriarchal system which kept them illiterate, economically dependent, and subjugated to cultural traditions. But most importantly,their invisibility as women has had a major impact upon the policies and programs adopted to improve their situation, which over time reflects the role that they are allowed to have in community and society. This is why we believe that it is important for Roma women to be reflected as they are and to be represented on the public agenda as a first step in asserting their rights. We are part of a Coalition for Gender Equality along with other three ngo’s Centre for Equal Partnership, Front and ALEG We are part of a coalition against sexual violence along with other seven organizations - coordinated by ALEG We have also partnerships with: Romano ButiQ, Centre for Juridical Resources and Human Rights, Centre for Juridical Resources and Human Rights, Centre for Juridical Resources and Human Rights, National Agency for Roma, Sastipen - Roma Centre for Health Policy, National Democratic Institute, E-Civis, We also developed partnerships with schools from Mizil, Spantov and Margineni de Jos and the Office’s mayor in Spantov We are beneficiary within a project run by Resource Centre for Public Participation (CeRe) Projects in partnership     EEA Grants- ONG Fund,’’Women’s participation is EQUAL’’- April 2014 - June 2015     EEA Grants- ONG Fund, ’’I am a model for community’’ -January 2014 - August 2015     Foundation Open Society Institute–Roma Initiative Office,’’Get involved and change perspective’     EEA Grants- ONG Fund,’’Coalition for Gender Equality - April 2014 - August 2015     EEA Grants- ONG Fund, ’’Break the silence about sexual violence: strengthening the capacity of NGOs to integrate sexual violence on public agenda’’- April 2014 - March 2015     Open Society Institute – Human Rights program,''Protection order – advocacy and litigation     Mama Cash Foundation –''Roma women consolidate local democracy’’ project implemented during June 2013 – August 2014 in Mizil and Spantov   Our activities will have two levels of intervention: the local (at the level of communities) and national.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We are a group of activists aiming on the one hand to increase the participation an visibility of Roma women to all spheres of economic and social life, and on the other hand, we aim to do this using mainly grass roots tools. Important steps have been made in terms of representation at different levels, but their efficiency is limited also due to the low level of awareness at community/national/international level on the importance of culture exchange, tolerance, social justice
Since the topics of roma and migration, raciest and hate speeches are rather hot subjects among media at international level (European space but not only) these subjects tends to be ignored by national states whose members are roma.
We want to take part at this network in order to increase  awareness on the threats of these phenomenon and also to encourage roma voice at international level.
